  • Storyblok/Svelte v3.0.0. is here ๐ŸŽ‰

    This new version uses the latest version of our js-client - which means we are finally removing Axios in favor of native Fetch API (polyfillable via isomorphic-fetch).

    In redux-observable is it possible to use isomporphic-fetch instead of Rx.DOM.ajax?

    The SDK now uses the Fetch API under the hood. If your environment doesn't support it, install a polyfill like isomorphic-fetch. More information can be found on the storyblok-js-client README.

    You don't need to install extra isomorphic-fetch into your Storyblok & Gatsby applications.
  • Stop polyfilling fetch in your npm package

    You can get around some of the above issues using a library called isomorphic-fetch, but not all of them. It also hasnโ€™t been updated since 2015, and is locked on v2.x of node-fetch (whereas v3 has been out for some time now)

    I have been happily using isomorphic-fetch till I needed to send PATCH method to the server.

  • Centralized/modularized Axios implementation?
    1 project | /r/reactjs | 3 Jan 2022
    Not to play devil's advocate or anything, but in all fairness, fetch can use an AbortController to be cancellable. Also, it/they can easily be supported in older browsers through a polyfill, which is substantially lighter on bundle size than Axios, esp for newer browsers where the polyfills adds no new code. Short digression: I love isomorphic-fetch because it polyfills fetch in both old browsers and NodeJS, meaning I only need to remember one simple API (fetch) for network calls regardless of the environment. I'd much rather have to learn only one stable, native API than add on additional third party APIs that can change over time or require additional plugins to make it work (e.g. moxios).
